Kyrö Peat Smoke

Kyrö Peat Smoke combines the Finnish terrain with our Rye Whisky using 100 % Finnish Malted Rye that is smoked using Finnish freshwater Peat. Vatted together using mainly Kyrö Peat Smoke New American Oak, Ex-Bourbon barrels and additionally some Kyrö Malt Ex-Bourbon barrels. The exact proportions vary batch by batch.

The peat smoke is introduced to our rye malt (and later to the whisky) using the same smoking barn -Riihi, as our Wood Smoke Whisky where instead of alder wood peat is used as the source of the smoke to induce a smoky flavour to our dried malted rye during the 24 hours smoking period. This results in a distinctive mossy peaty flavour to the malt which is carried over to the spirit in our distillation process.

Although the malt is dry smoked (smoking occurs after the drying of the malt and not during the kilning process) the peaty flavours survive our process because we are using all grains in the process, meaning all the solid particles and the outer layer of the rye which has the most of the smoke influence goes all the way to the first distillation where all the volatile smoky nuances are captured to our low wines.
